Snowboarding
Snowboarding is a cross between skateboarding and skiing, and it's tricky to master. It's been a Winter Olympics sport since 1998 and has become hugely popular with 3.5 million people now enjoying the sport and celebrities like Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel and Zac Efron showing us how it's done.

As well as whizzing down snowy mountains, snowboarding involves lots of tricks involving grabs and turns while in the air. You don't have to go on glamorous holidays to snowy places to learn. Dry ski slopes are an ideal place to have a go and snowboarding, and get some lessons, before trying out your skills on real snow. This website will help you find a dry slope near you. Watch the film Out Cold (PG) for a great insight into the sport.
